C-81-028 by the Coors Energy Company <br />for renewal of a permit to continue surface coal mining operations <br />at the Keenesburg Mine located north of Keenesburg, Weld County, <br />Colorado, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), due to <br />manpower and budgetary constraints, is unable to provide any <br />detailed comments. <br />Nevertheless, the Service regards wetlands and riparian habitats as <br />an important resource, due to their high value for fish and <br />wildlife. Therefore, we recommend that the Colorado Mined Land <br />Reclamation Division contact the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers if <br />any of the activities of this project would impact any wetlands or <br />riparian habitats. If any of these types of habitats will be <br />unavoidably impacted, then appropriate mitigation should be <br />proposed and discussed with this office. <br />If the Service can be of further assistance, please contact <br />Bernardo Garza of this office at (303) 231-5280. <br />Sincerely Yours, <br />~'`" <br />CC: FWS/FWE; SLC <br />CDOW, Fort Collins, CO (Attn <br />Reading file <br />Project file <br /> <br />LeRoy W.
